Comments about Lillian Vernon Hanging Bats:

I love these bats. I've learned to read the reviews and descriptions closely before buying, or else I wouldn't have known that all 3 do not come together you have to buy the large and the 2 smaller bats separately.

I bought all 3 and they are so cute, although very different than the picture. They have red eyes and the bodies look more fuzzy and you can't see any definition like the picture shows in their bodies. They are hanging in front on the front door with some yarn I attatched to the loop that is already sewed into the bats when you get them. I taped the string to the top of the porch and so far so good. I didn't thing it would be a good idea to put them where they might get wet on the outter area of the porch.

I tried to get a close up picture to share but it's not working, so i've attached what I could get.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Hanging Bats:

This was such a disappointment. I ordered the LARGE 24" bat and received a 8" bat!! That is probably worth[$]. It makes me wonder if they sent the wrong one. Does not look like the pics at all! They are not latex!

Not as Pictured

By Bat-tastic from Minneapolis, MN on 10/15/2008

Gift:

Cons:

Not as pictured

Best Uses:

Indoors

Describe Yourself:

Midrange Shopper

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Hanging Bats:

That's bats shown are NOT what you will be delivered. They aren't as detailed, do not have fur and they don't have a nose. The photo is of a totally different product. I bought these thinking I was getting a deal because they were significantly cheaper than similar looking bats I'd seen in a store. Unfortunately, I ended being out about twenty bucks in shipping in returns. I wish there had been more reviews before I made my purchase so that I would have known I wouldn't be receiving what is pictured.

Not the same shown very disappointed

By jo

Cons:

Cheap dollar store, Large bat only 12" across, Looks nothing like shown, Low Quality, Small bat only 8" not 11"

Comments about Lillian Vernon Hanging Bats:

I am usually very happy with LV products this one fell short. I own the bats shown purchased locally and thought I was getting the same product. Will be returning them

Not what I expected, but still cute.

from Florida on 11/10/2007

Pros:

Attractive Design, Easy to Secure

Cons:

Bends/Blows Away, Deteriorates/Rots

Best Uses:

Porch

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Hanging Bats:

I ordered the small pair for outdoor porch use-don't think they would hold up anywhere that didn't have protection-too fragile. I removed the included loop & used fishing line to hang them-the imbedded hook is useful, but should have been placed further on the bat's back to show off the faces at a better angle. Still, for the cost, they looked good for Halloween.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Hanging Bats:

I hung the bats up around my house while my daughter was napping and she woke up and at first was scared but now she loves them to bits! It's too hard to scare people anymore so I was happy when they startled my brother-in-law too.

Realistic and lifelike...NOT!!!!

Not as advertised

By Angela

from New Orleans, LA on 10/22/2007

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Hanging Bats:

These are not realistic latex bats. Instead, they are cute velvet bats. Also, they are only half the size advertised. I ordered both the single large bat and the pair of small bats and had to return both. I was informed that the supplier made a change.

cool, I like these!

Misleading description

By Georgia Peach from Georgia on 10/20/2007

Pros:

None

Cons:

Nothing like description

Best Uses:

Preschool party

Describe Yourself:

Practical

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Hanging Bats:

The only thing accurate in the description is the color. It's made of molded foam - not latex. It's not at all realistic or lifelike and there is no detail at all in the "detailed face".

Service & Delivery comments:

I ordered one large bat and recieved one small one instead.

Not as described!

By Karen from Virginia on 10/20/2007

Comments about Lillian Vernon Hanging Bats:

The large bat that arrived was really the size of the small bat as described in the write-up. It was only 11 inches wide instead of 24 inches as described. The small bats were 8.5 inches wide not 11 inches as described. Very disappointed.

They look real.!
